He's been on the m5board hasn't he? I remember some old vids with him running on a runway. Is he also rocking a Yellowbird? They look very alike in this vid and the pics

YouTube - Ruf Yellowbird CTR vs Bugatti Veyron

edit: Here's the vid I remember the car from!

Jas, Just a heads up. There is an immaculate low miles Ruf conversion car for sale on ebay right now. Price is high IMO and the car does not have Aerokit or Ruf wheels just a set of FIKSE's. Just wanted to bring it to your attention. I'll see if I can find a link.

Yep, I was lucky enough to ride along with him once. Everything gets surprisingly surreal and quiet after 200 mph. Perhaps that's because of the "sound barrier" getting broken. And yes, Adam used to post on m5board. That's where we first met.

I found the video..

Ben, I've got the link for Jas if he is interested in the 550 converted 2002.

Yup thats the one. Car looks fantastic but that price is sheer lunacy.

Was an incredible run we had, one of my best. Totally surreal.
